It’s been 3 years since I came Ithaca. I have never really blogged about it since, well, I just assumed it will always be there in my life. But now I’m about to graduate, I guess I can’t take it for granted anymore. Yeah, I’ll still be here for 1 more year, but 1 year passes really fast and before I know it, it’ll be time for me to go back to the Lion City.
This is what I have been doing the entire semester for 14 weeks. I’ve been designing an MTBE decomposition plant to manufacture isooctene from MTBE for further gasoline blending. Sounds nerdy, I know, but when you have devoted a good part of your 14 weeks to this damn project (sweat and tears), you gotta take some pride in it.
Mussels at Zaza’s Ithaca! The reputed Italian restaurant to go in Ithaca. Sadly, doesn’t live up to the hype. The mussels were not as delicious as the one at Caseus at New Haven. A bit bland I think.
The lobster risotto was better than the mussels though. One of the better ones I had. I liked the requisite bread and olive oil they give. Pity the photos didn’t turn out well. Overall, a nice 1.3 thumbs/2 thumbs up.
